Luxivair SBD, the fixed-base operator at San Bernardino International Airport, is heading into the fall with significant momentum. Corporate aircraft activity at the FBO increased 22% in 2025, while international flights rose 9.7%, and demand has remained strong through the summer of 2026, according to the company. The FBO will highlight that growth at the NBAA Business Aviation Convention & Exhibition (NBAA-BACE), scheduled for October 20–22 in Las Vegas, where attendees can visit Booth 3505 in the West Hall.
The numbers matter because they signal a shift in where business aviation operators are choosing to land in Southern California. With Los Angeles-area airports often congested and costly, Luxivair SBD is positioning itself as a practical alternative. Located just 60 miles from Los Angeles and minutes from major interstates, the FBO offers convenience and cost-effectiveness alongside what it describes as a five-star experience.
“The significant increase in corporate aircraft activity, along with strong growth in international traffic, underscores how effectively Luxivair SBD continues to meet the evolving needs of business aviation in Southern California,” said Mark Gibbs, the Airport’s Director of Aviation. “Businesses that fly through Luxivair understand that time is their most valuable asset—and our FBO helps them maximize it.”
The growth is also being supported by digital upgrades. The FBO’s website, LuxivairSBD.com, offers a streamlined layout tailored to schedulers, dispatchers, pilots, and passengers. It provides quick access to fuel pricing, real-time weather updates, ground support services, and U.S. Customs clearance, helping decision-makers plan more efficiently.
For international operators, onsite U.S. Customs and Immigration simplifies entry into Southern California, while on-field MRO businesses allow aircraft to operate at peak performance. The full-service business complex includes total ground support, concierge professionals, premium courtesy vehicles, traditional and hydrogen car rentals, and hotel shuttles.
Amenities at the FBO are designed to match the expectations of premium travelers. An airy two-story atrium lobby, travertine floors, floor-to-ceiling glass windows, and sweeping views of the San Bernardino Mountains welcome arrivals. There is also an advanced conference room, flight planning room, crew lounge, exercise room, and a theater with stadium seating.
Fuel and services are always competitively priced, and there is never a facility fee, according to the company. That pricing model, combined with the lack of congestion and the range of on-site services, makes Luxivair SBD a compelling option for operators looking to save time and money while maintaining a high level of service.
As business aviation continues to recover and grow, the FBO’s performance at NBAA-BACE will be one to watch. The show provides a platform for Luxivair SBD to demonstrate why a growing number of operators are choosing it as their gateway to the region. With its record-breaking year and expanded digital tools, the FBO is making a clear case that it can meet the demands of modern business aviation without the headaches of larger, busier airports.
